Wuthering Waves 2.6 introduces Iuno, a 5-star sub-DPS using Aero Gauntlet Resonator. She supports allies while dealing high damage and offers a whole lot of unique abilities in her kit. With the right build, you can enhance her capabilities; this guide details how to create the best Iuno build in WuWa.
Wuthering Waves Iuno Stats and Overview
- Rarity: ★★★★★
- How to Get: Limited Convene Resonator
- Element: Aero
- Weapon Type: Gauntlets
- Team Role: Sub DPS/ Support
- Overall Ranking: SS Tier
With Iuno, you don’t have to worry about standing her ground. She is able to heal and has adequate stamina recovery, plus she offers heavy Aero damage thanks to her Gauntlet. Iuno’s Moonring helps her transform her skillset according to the Lunar Cycle, which offers 3 Domains:
- Half Moon (Default): Charges the Forte Circuit before entering the New Moon stage. Also uses the Moonring to attack, which restores Sentience and increases Resonance Liberation DMG.
- New Moon: Transforms the Moonring to the Moonbow, which uses up the charged gauge to deal bonus damage. Also heals nearby allies.
- Full Moon: Enhances stamina recovery and healing for herself and allies by creating a shield while stacking Blessing of the Wan Light buff once.
Iuno’s main skills—Resonance Liberation, Resonance Skill, and Forte Circuit—enable efficient Lunar Cycle transitions. Prioritize Forte Circuit to start her rotation, then focus on the Resonance skills for secondary damage.
The only downfall to her build is that her strengths focus on whether the main DPS offers 10 shield generations in one rotation. So far, only Augusta has this skill, and once activated, Iuno offers 40% damage amplification as one stack of Blessing of the Wan Light.

Iuno Best Teams
- Main DPS: Augusta/ Jiyan/ Iuno
- Sub DPS: Iuno/ Ciaccona/ Jianxin
- Support: Shorekeeper/ Verina
Pairing Augusta, Iuno, and Shorekeeper or Verina makes the most of Iuno’s support skills. Augusta triggers Iuno’s Blessing of the Wan Light for a significant attack boost. Replacing Augusta with Jiyan also works, but this shifts the focus to Iuno’s Heavy Attack DMG Amplification with her Outro Skill.
If you place Iuno as the Main DPS, then her best team comp would be either Ciaccona or Jianxin as Sub DPS, followed by either Shorekeeper or Verina as support. Ciaccona will buff up Iuno’s Aero attacks and offer Negative Status applications, while Jianxin helps in crowd control and even buffs Iuno’s Resonance Liberation in the process.
